Χτύπησα το δάχτυλό μου και είναι μελανιασμένο και κρύο - Χρειάζεται γιατρός;

I injured my finger on Sunday and on Monday it began to bruise and swell slightly. I can move the finger fine, it only hurts if I squeeze a certain part of it. But the whole finger is now dark with bruise and it tends to be colder than the other fingers. Do I need to see a doctor or can I treat it somehow at home? I don't feel a break, so perhaps just a bad bruise?

You must come to the office, to check you by an x-ray. I think there must be a broken bone. I will be happy to treat you. Thank you so much.

If there is no deformity or pain present, most probably it is just an injury of soft tissue.
Keep it protected for a few days and don't worry about the bruise, it's just some blood from the site of the injury that has leaked underneath your skin

I strongly recommend that an Orthopedic Surgeon must see you as soon as possible because except the possibility of a fracture, there is soft tissue in the anatomic area of the finger that is also very important
